Oman's Coach Says Team Still Not Hard Enough Against A Test Playing Nation
Oman cricket team coach Duleep Mendis has said ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup First Round, Group B opener against Papua New Guinea (PNG) later on Sunday that he has seen a vast improvement in the mental aspect of his side since he took over, but his boys are still "not hard enough" to play Test nations.
"We have to do well to go forward, but they (team) have the ability to do so. One thing I felt was lacking was the mental side. I worked on that, and to a certain extent, I think it has worked. We have put them (the boys) through a lot of exercises and they have come out of them. Still, when we play against a Test nation I feel they are not hard enough. But it will come," said the Sri Lankan cricketing legend.
